[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm laughing so hard at everyone saying they pay more taxes in McLean so they deserve more. Pretty sure you knew what you were getting into when you bought a huge house in an expensive part of the county!! LOL.[/quote]

A huge house? Entry level 4 bedroom houses start from $800k and a 850k-900k house buys you only a 1400-2000 sq ft house in McLean. That same amount would buy you at least a 3000sq ft house in many other areas in FCPS boundary. We chose to live in a SMALLER house to be able to send our kids zoned for Longfellow and McLean High. I live in one of those entry level houses and pay about $10k in property taxes. Schools are funded by state/County dollars, not federal dollars. The residents living in Annandale, Springfield, Falls Church (not city of FC but 22042 or 22043 Falls Church for example) benefit from McLean residents paying those larger checks. You won't be laughing when McLean takes their $ elsewhere to start their own public school system. [/quote]
